Yes, age matters. For example, someone my age, 65, would have nothing in common with someone 25-35, etc. We are at different stages of our lives and have different points of reference. I believe, as an older female, who is younger at heart, I can have a relationship with someone younger, but I wouldn't want it to be more than a decade...we can still relate by then, but those women who look at men young enough to be their child, are not looking for something lasting. Good luck to them...not for me.
